The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 429 – Great Astley Empire: Arriving At The Royal Capital

”Okay, Iʼll try to help to the best of my ability,” Alice said as she glanced at the projection. She could see that the empire was still pushing them to the limits.

She then turned to Lydia and said, ”Iʼll go now. Iʼll handle the left wing so try to deal with the center and right wing.”

Lydia, Jamine, and Isabella looked at Aliceʼs back until she disappeared.

”Itʼs been a few months and Alice is still the same. She had that cold temperament around her.” Isabella commented with a sigh.

”Her strength will greatly help us,” Lydia said.

”Is she really that strong?” Jamine asked as she glanced at the two. She was the only one who hadnʼt met Alice before. She also didnʼt have any idea if Alice was strong or not.

”Yeah, sheʼs even stronger than me.” Lydia nodded as she glanced in the direction where Alice left.

”That strong?” Jamine asked.

”Yeah,” Lydia nodded and said, ”Forget about it. Letʼs get back to work.”

”Oh, youʼre right,” Jamine replied absentmindedly. She moved her feet and followed her friend, Lydia.

The two turned serious when they saw the status of the battle. It was getting worse. They need something that will change the tide of the battle. Thatʼs what all they needed.

They donʼt need to be worried about the left wing as Alice said that she will handle it. So their job just got easier but it was still very hard.

”Hmm...?” Jamine pondered as she walked back and forth.

Lydia just glanced at her friend as she sat down on a seat. ”If weʼre not in outer space, thereʼs a high chance that we could win this battle. We could use individual power and manpower on the surface better than the empire.” She muttered.

Boom!

While the two were pondering what should they do, the ship shook heavily as if it received some powerful impact. And it snapped Lydia and Jamine out of their thought. Both of them lifted their head and glanced at the projection.

”What the hell?!”

”Whatʼs wrong?”

Their eyes widened and their heart palpitated when they saw the scene on the projection. The scene where the empire finally used dozens of Mana Convergent Bomb at the same time.

Several enormous balls of light illuminated the dark space. The ball of light encompasses more than thirty kilometers, destroying everything within it.

In this dark space, the Mana Convergent Bomb showed its power to everyone. The power to destroy everything.

”Shit!! They really wonʼt give us a time to counterattack!!” Lydia cursed as she clenched her fists tightly.

”Itʼs hard to find a hole in their tight guard. Also, getting too much closer to them would leave us vulnerable to Mana Convergent Bomb. Souta isnʼt here so no one could block the explosion from that powerful bomb.” Jamine said while narrowing her thin brows.

Isabella looked calm at this moment. She looked at Jamine and Lydia. ”Um, we just need someone that could change the tide of war, right?” She said.

”Y-Yeah...” Jamine didnʼt whatʼs her mind but she still nodded her head.

”But thereʼs no one who could do it...” Lydia stopped for a second as she recalled that there were beings in this ship with absolute strength. ”The dragons and Yuko...?”

”Yes, although they arenʼt versatile like Souta. They still had powerful abilities. In terms of brute strength, Yuko is even several times stronger than Souta.” Isabella said to her. She trained inside Sayaʼs inner consciousness for five months with Yuko, Souta, and Yenxa. So she knew the true strength of the three that was with her in her training.

Especially Souta and Yuko. The scene that she saw before was simply terrifying. It was inhumane.

At that moment, she realized it. She realized that Souta was telling the truth that he was a monster. Heʼs not a human or demi that somehow gained an access to dragonʼs energy, no, best feram.

”I have a question.” Jamine voice sounded and Isabella snapped out of her own thoughts.

”W-What is it?” She asked with a flustered look.

”Are they going to be fine in outer space? If they couldnʼt then I will not send them just to die.” Jamine said with a grave expression.

Isabella placed her index finger on her lips. After a while, she opened her mouth and said, ”According to Souta, a body of a third evolution monster is strong and tough. So they could handle it if they used their energy to protect themselves but not for too long. Souta even said that the dragons and Yukoʼs body are tougher than his.”

”I understand. I think that ten minutes are enough. I should tell them to distract the enemies for ten minutes.” Jamine nodded in understanding.

”Ten minutes is fine. I think they could even hold out for twenty minutes.” Isabella paused and added, ”Well, ten minutes is fine. Itʼs less risky.”

She learned a lot of things from Souta and Saya in five months inside the inner consciousness. She also learned to access her own inner consciousness.

In the royal capital, the citizens of the empire were nervous. They knew that war was happening just outside of their planet. Although they had confidence in their army, they still couldnʼt help but run their emotions wild.

In the history of the founding of the Great Astley Empire, it was the first time that someone managed to push their country to the limit.

The emperor broadcasted his speech as he tried to calm the citizen of his nation. In actual fact, he was already feeling nervous deep inside his heart but he just hides it. As a leader of a nation, he had to set up an example for his citizen.

He had a backup plan if his army lose. He still had several warheads in his city. Each warhead contained two hundred Mana Convergent Bomb. The Liberation Army would surely felt intimidated at their power.

With just one command, the emperor could control these warheads. The Guardian Fortress was the protector of the city. Yet, they have never used it in any kind of war because they havenʼt met a worthy foe.

A person approaching the emperor and whispered something to his ear.

The emperor nodded and said in a low voice, ”Track the ship and monitor the entire planet. I want to know if the people inside the ship survive. Maybe, entering our planet is their main goal.”

”Yes, Your Majesty.” The person saluted and left.

Just outside of their city, the elite team of the Liberation White Army was looking at the vast royal capital of the Great Astley Empire.

”Damn, the Great Astley Empire is really good. Their capital is covered by a thick barrier and detecting field. If anyone approached it within one kilometer they would effortlessly know it.” Franklin said as the smile on his face grew wider.

”Three layers of a barrier. One for defense, the second one for attacking, and the last one was for detecting. Pretty amazing.” Even Souta was surprised when he saw it. He looked up at the barrier and marveled at it.

”Well, letʼs go.” The dragon behind them said.

”Charge towards the barrier as fast as you can. Iʼll handle the barrier so you donʼt have to worry about it. Once we entered the city, Iʼll leave with Torkez while the rest of you will divert the attention of the masses.” Souta said to them one more time. Since the barrier was going to detect them, thereʼs no point in hiding their energy.

They should simply burst out and charged towards it with great momentum.

Boom!

They quickly released their energy and launched themselves. Just like what theyʼve expected as soon as they released their energy, an alarm sounded in every city of the Great Astley Empire.

*Warning!*

*Warning!*

*Several Fluctuations of energy have been detected two kilometers away from the royal capital. Itʼs in the south and itʼs fast.*

*Itʼs approaching the royal capital.*

*Requesting for reinforcement from other cities.*

The soldiers who were trying to locate them quickly got to know their position. Before they could even report their sightings, Souta and the rest zoomed the distance as they arrived in front of the barrier.

The attack barrier was nothing. With a gravity field around them, the attack barrier did nothing to them. It couldnʼt harm them.

Swoosh!

Souta jumped as he pulled out the vajra sword and coated it with his best feram. He then slashed it forward wielding his great strength to pierce the barrier.

[Crimson Moon]!!

Bang!

The red energy blade met a resistance at first but in the next moment, a huge hole appeared on the surface of the barrier. Cracks were all over it and it was spreading.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

”Easy,” Franklin said with a smile as he jumped inside the hole along with the rest of his comrades. ”Royal Capital... Here I come.”

All of them landed on the ground and it easily destroyed several houses near them.

Finally, the group was inside the royal capital.

”Just do your best to stop me, empire.” Franklin grinned widely as he charged forward.
